Greetings Monkeywatchers, core coon crap for joining us, and welcome to the month of Loy Krathong, or whatever else floats your boat. Looking at the state of some of the young blokes wandering around Pattaya, you have to wonder if their hairdressers and their tailors are competing with each other for some kind of comedy award. A Pakistani DJ working in Pattaya was given a right good kicking by a group of food delivery riders on South Pattaya Road who accused him of causing trouble. Anyone who’s heard Pakistani music would no doubt say “guilty as charged.” A Ukrainian chappie is

The Sawang Boriboon Foundation is a well-known non-profit organization in Pattaya that provides emergency rescue services, including marine incidents.

About 6 knots.....

Mainly a Christmas theme; decorations going up at Terminal 21. A few then of new places set up near Terminal 21 for eating and drinking.

Air Quality down this morning. Overall the dismantling and clean up is going well. The work opposite Mikes Mass seems to have been successful. Praise to the ladies/gents in orange shirts who do the clean up. (See last few photorgraphs)

Well, considering the unfortunate state of our recent interactions, I'm relieved this is the extent of what you were thinking! Thanks for this and also to @forcebwithu for these posts. Just as a quick update, planning for my upcoming retirement has accelerated. I've changed to a different financial advisor who was recommended by a friend as good with retirement money management. I've begun the process of claiming my Social Security retirement benefit, which will require me to turn up at the local office to let them copy my birth certificate (I have the original!). I've also i

First from the Firework Festival this evening.

I looked at the reviews on booking.com there was a real mixture of nationalities. lots from UK and USA, a few Arabs (one complained of being treated as invisible and won't be back) and a few from India but definitely mostly white.

Saw this one today. We used to have empires run by emperors. We used to have kingdoms run by kings. Nowadays we have countries run by ....

Quite a few restaurants/cafes opening in the new complex on Naklua Road near Terminal 21. I had a conversation with the operator of this attraction. I was advised that it should be operating next week. The cost will be 280 baht for Thai Citizens and 480 for non Thai Citizens.

It happens everywhere for reasons we can't control. Whatever you may have, and whatever you may have achieved, was probably not taken away from someone else. You worked for it and earned it fairly, so it needs no other justification. If you were some sort of thief or conman, the foregoing does not apply to you. There are already established, bona fide charities in Thailand. Giving to those will avoid any problems you may have with the authorities, e.g. working without a permit, and will ensure that the aid goes to people who really need it vs. scammers and low lifes, both far

The problem with your very good idea is that there is such a diverse group of people in Pattaya both Locals and Expats. For example during Covid there were many groups of people that set up food stations to feed the local community that had no income. These were made up of volunteers from holiday makers, expats living here, business owners and bar managers. These can be split into two groups. 1. Free of Charge volunteers. These were the large majority that gave their time and money without expecting anything in return. 2. Chargeable volunteers. This was a small minority tha

My electricity bill was a few coppers under 2500 baht this month. Cool season is good for that!

I was in the process of checking out Manston's and Siamburis for the price of a boneless leg of lamb when I noticed that Manston's do free Nationwide delivery for orders over 4,000 Baht. I save 415Baht on delivery and all the Manston's stuff is cheaper on their site anyway..

I have the greatest of respect for whoever comes out with this stuff. Today's is a classic. Sent from my CPH2669 using Tapatalk

Taken three years ago. (Facebook Memories).

Dave admirable , help is always needed so do what you can. I think best to steer the help to FR. Rays, haven’t heard a disparaging thing in the 20 years I ve been here. Bruce has good council here. Back when FLB was rocking guys would kick in a few thousand, then hire a Baht bus , the flb girls would put on their panties and head over to Big C since the girls knew what was needed. I give to specific people, a guy in Bkk who lost his legs in Laos as a boy from the shit my country left behind . An old lady on Soi 4 selling fruit, I always take care of her and in turn during strawberry season

I have it on good authority that this the place where you pay 500 baht to massage yourself. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

For the same sausage meat and chestnut stuffing my intention was to post an excellent offer from Manston's for sage and onion sausage meat balls but they removed the offer before I could get my order in as I was away from the house for a week. So, know the prices of your main food items so that you can lump in on a good deal before it is snatched away !!

Despite having mostly embraced the Thai concept that 'if it works, don't fix it' I found my main bedroom AC was blowing a bit poorly, so called the guy in, well overdue a service. Three units, cleaned up, no parts needed (bar one), 500 baht each. The catch was one of the little motors that drives the vanes back and forth had packed in, that alone cost 1400 to replace, so he told me. One unit is 10 years old, the other couple about 20. The little motor on one of the others is also defective, but I jam a piece of card into that to put the vanes where I want them!

Perhaps you might not be interested in my next price update then but others with worse money management skills might be.... We bought several kg of chicken carcass from Lotus on Friday at 21 Baht/kg but this isn't to be boiled down to make a broth, instead it us used for soup. I have always enjoyed chicken/turkey/duck neck and this comes with the carcass. Also the meat around where the neck meets the body is effing delicious too. It kinda reminds me of the fleshy bit of a tiger prawn that is left after you remove the head... The thing is, this isn't chicken that has been water-b
